With sober look and mod'rate walk, And tongue smooth tipt with Bible talk, Religion's track he'll seem to tread, Tho' number'd still amongst the dead.

With heav'nly light and life possest, With genuine love of Christ imprest, Both self and sin he daily flies, And still on sov'reign grace relies.

With carriage grave and habit neat, On leisure days he'll take his seat; Attentive seems, tho' what he hears No further reaches than his ears.

With ready mind and steady pace Behold him run the Christian race: Encourag'd by the prize in view, He hears the word, and doth it too, And proves his faith divinely true.
